Kirby Electric installed 14 recessed LED lights + 3 light switches for my vaulted ceilings. There's no attic space and luckily I had an upcoming re-roof project where the electricians can access the top and run the wiring. Adam (owner) worked with me on a very tight schedule that unfortunately kept getting changed by the roofer. On the day of project, he sent a crew of 4 guys to get the job done in one day, totally impressed with how efficient they were and left the area clean after the job was finished. Hands down, Kirby Electric provides the best value when it comes to price and quality, my wife and I will definitely be reaching out to them for future electrical needs!

I called Adam, the owner of Kirby electric to discuss options of how to brighten my kitchen by adding lights and replacing existing cans with LED. He spent about 15 minutes on the phone with me and gave me some great options with a very reasonable quote. We then communicated by text with the products and installation logistics.

Within a week, my recessed lights are installed! His assistants Anthony and Michael showed up on time and did a very professional and efficient job. I was picky about smudge parks and the new light fixtures being in line with the older ones and it came out perfect! Thank you!

Highly recommend Kirby Electric! Owner Adam is super knowledgeable, friendly and great to work with. His crew did an outstanding job, were on time and left the job site clean. Can't ask for more than that! I would not hesitate to use them again for my electrical needs.

I reached out and set up for an electrician to come out and check out our garage to install a 240v outlet for our Tesla X, but was basically stood up. I made every effort to stay home and finally received a text message saying they would come at a certain time (refer to photo) but they never showed up, followed up, or apologized for missing this appointment. It's very unprofessional and unreliable. I was relying on them to instal the outlet as soon as possible as we cannot keep charging our car elsewhere with 2 children under 2, so it is unfortunate that we experienced this with this company.

Kirby Electric's customer service is outstanding!! I don't usually write reviews but I need to acknowledge Kirby Electric, how professional and responsive of Adam and his awesome team members are. Not only that they are very knowledgeable and get the job done quickly, their customer service is purely awesome!! Adam responds text and takes action so quickly. When I called for follow-up service, they came within a few hours at no costs! I would highly recommend Kirby to anyone for any electrical related matters.

We have used this service to install led garage lights in two homes. They ate not only professional but also good people
I called them today to ask if they were available to check a outlet. I had my tenants contact info and they were able to fix over the phone! Super nice folks- no charge! I'll be happy to recommend them for any job - big or small! My tenants are also lovely

Anthony and David installed ceiling fans in all of my bedrooms and were so pleasant hard working and conscientious. They were very clean too! I would recommend Kirby to anyone who needs electrical work done on their home.

Finally! A responsive electrical contractor that does good work and is willing to discuss the details and work with me (the homeowner) so that I can get what I want.

They replaced a couple of old load centers and the wiring is neat and tidy. Of course, not everything went according to plan because of parts and equipment shortages but they were on time and cleaned up so that everything was in the same state as when they showed.

At the end of the day what matters most to me is how issues are resolved. Adam (owner) is available and responsive whether it's text, email, or phone and is willing to get into the details and discuss things.

I had Kirby Electric company install recessed lights in my home. One of the best decision my wife and I have made to get the job done! Anthony and David did an awesome job with the install. They seem like very professional and friendly guys! They finished the job quick and cleaned up once they were done. If you're looking for an electric company to reach out to, go with Kirby Electric

Trustworthy, knowledgable, & straight-shooters.. This is the type of family-style business that I love to give my money to. These guys are passionate, have a great team, & truly want to do the best work possible. I never knew how complicated electrical can be, but Adam (Mr. Kirby Electric) easily broke it down for me, & stayed well within my budget. Justin & Anthony were super respectful of my home & did an amazing job! Thanks y'all!!

I really look forward to working with Kirby Electric again once I'm ready for my next project.

This is a long overdue review for Adam's team who did a wonderful job on my house. I originally contacted Adam to just upgrade our main panel and replace our subpanel due to shoddy work done by the original home owner. After some digging around, we realized that a full rewire of the house was going to be needed. Given the last minute need for a rewire and the large scope of such a project, Adam really worked with us to get us what we needed within our allowed budget which I really appreciated. His team did a great job and was able to complete the full rewire of the house within a week and with minor cuts into the drywall minimizing the amount of repair that was going to be needed. The before and after of our subpanel was like night and day. I am really happy with the the work that Adam's team did and have every intention of using them again in the near future for other projects.

Steve E.

11/04/2021 12:00:00 SA

We had problems with a couple of blown outlets, which required a bit of detective work to figure out. Adam was great. He showed up right on time and dug right in and clearly explained what had happened and the fixes he'd make. Finding a good local electrician seems to be universally problematic, at least in our area, but I won't hesitate to use Kirby again.

Sarah Z.

6/24/2020

Not only did Kirby electric show up 15 minutes early, they were willing to stop by at 7:30 the next morning to double a check an outlet I thought wasn't working (it was working, and they graciously didn't charge for the extra time). Our electrician Justin was incredible, both of the guys working were friendly with the children, the dog and left our house immaculate afterwards. They also worked the full 8 hours they were here, without stopping for breaks. I would recommend this company over and over again!

We needed three new exterior light fixtures installed and also an exterior outlet needed replacement. So happy we found Kirby Electric. Our previous electrician retired a few years ago so searched Yelp and nextdoor. We found Kirby Electric had great reviews. We liked that the owner, Adam. answered the phone himself and that they had a website and an active license. Adam arranged for Chris to come the next morning, who did a great job...very knowledgeable and efficient. We're so happy to finally have these jobs done and to have our electrician for any future needs.

Andrea T.

03/02/2020 12:00:00 SA

Tomas was awesome and I highly recommend them. Tomas made our outdoor patio lights work when we thought that all hope was lost. Not only that, he made sure that all our switches are safe (knotting the wires and making sure all outlets near the water line are GFI enabled).

Adam was able to respond to our request within a day (super short notice from our end, but he was great with communicating and dispatched one of his guys nonetheless).

Will definitely be clients for life!

Brian M.

03/11/2020 12:00:00 SA

Great people all around. Even better work quality. I finally have an electrician. Don't waste your time looking at other companies. These guys are the real deal.

Thanks guys! Looking forward to doing more business with you!

I highly recommend Adam and his company. We had him out to fix a problem with a breaker and our yard lights. He not only fixed the problems but gave me recommendations for new lights and even where to get the best price. He replaced all of our yard lights, installed a 240 plug for my car in our garage and recommended and installed a gadget with a mobile app for my front lights. We were so impressed with his exceptional service that we then had him replace 27 can lights in our house. He is truly a great find!

Wow. Adam was able to suggest something in a first phone call that led to my buying a $2 part at Ace, which fixed the problem.

We got home from vacation to find the fluorescent fixture in the garage had failed. New tubes didn't do the trick and I'd removed the ballast to replace it when my wife and I decided to swap in a new LED fixture - except when it arrived it didn't work. Should have done so earlier but finally measured voltages and found that the wires where the old fixture had been measured all of 9 V AC. Wtf. Backed up to a junction box then eventually the wall switch and got voltages that still made no sense to me.

It was Adam who suggested I temporarily bypass the wall switch and in fact the wall switch turned out to be the problem.

Between that and all the positive reviews here will definitely keep Kirby in mind when it's something bigger than what I wrestled with this time.

Alina B.

12/02/2020 12:00:00 SA

We had a problem with some outlets in our rental house and Adam helped us figure that out through text message. He also offered to stop by in between jobs if we were not able to it figure out. He was really polite, responsive and willing to help. We will definitely use this company again for our future needs!

03/03/2017 12:00:00 SA

Our kitchen is FINALLY DONE! Adam and Anthony installed more outlets, a 3 way switch and under cabinet lights! Our kitchen looks amazing! They are great great great!! We enjoy working with them and they are truly honest electricians. We are so glad we found them! I posted some pics of our kitchen here too. Thanks guys!

I had a breaker fail on a Sunday night. I called Kirby Electric as soon as they opened on Monday morning. Adam (Owner) personally came to my home to inspect the breaker panel. During the inspection multiple issues became evident and Adam recommended panel replacement with new breakers and additional space as my best option. He immediately called distributor and ordered the necessary parts and went to get them. He returned in about an hour with everything and a couple hours later the new panel was installed and power restored to my entire home. Adam answered my question but kept the project moving and produced a professional and well organized panel.

10/11/2018 12:00:00 SA

I can't say enough about these guys. We met Adam who was very responsive and attentive. We discussed different ideas to improve our lighting and he came up with some great suggestions.

We then met Anthony and Chris when they installed the lighting. Just like Adam, these guys were terrific. Big smiles and great work.

WARNING:
ADAM ELECTRIC IS THE BEST!!!

Kirby Electric is hands down the best company to call for anything. My first experience was 17 LED can lights on dimmers throughout my house in Livermore. Adam and Justin made sure everything was to code, worked properly and addressed all my random questions about LED dimmers vs regular dimmers etc. Super clean when they left and 0 Sheetrock damage!

Then I was in a jam, Kirby Electric fit me in for a code violation to put Microwave on its own breaker needed this within 48 hours and they delivered and a reasonable rate.

Finally, this latest install was just amazing. 1 day they installed 24 Cans(4 of which were very difficult vaulted ceilings) All on LED dimmers, 3 ceiling fans, mounted 2 Flat Screen TVs with plugs, and resolved a few overloaded circuits in my box.

I will def. call these guys for anything in the future!

We love these guys! Adam and his team are just great people who do great work. They have lots of integrity, are super reliable, and also a pleasure to work with! These guys helped us get our first home ready for our first baby, making our electric system safe. We look forward to a long relationship with Kirby Electric! We recommend them to everyone we know and anyone who asks. To sum it up, Kirby does impecable work with a smile!

I recently purchased a new home and the electrical was in need of an upgrade as well as the fixtures and outlets.
I contacted Kirby Electric and as well as a few other companies for some estimates.
I chose Kirby Electric for their professionalism, expertise, friendliness and honesty.
I was not disappointed at the end of the electrical upgrade. Not only were they clean, on time and efficient but they were very respectful and friendly too. The crew did an excellent job at installing new recessed led lighting and upgrading my switches and plugs as well as a new sub panel!
I HIGHLY recommend Kirby Electric !
You will not be disappointed

Jim H.

08/01/2017 12:00:00 SA

These guys are a great team. You can count on them to do a great job and do quality work. They have done rewiring for me along with adding new wire and circuits. Adam is very fast to respond and they are very busy guys so you may have to wait a few days for the work to get done, but it is worth it. No job too small, and quality is first. Great communication too.

I can't tell you how fortunate I feel to have found Adam and the gang. For context, we have an old 1940's slumpstone house, and needed to modernize the wiring to various rooms throughout the house. Most electricians that we've had to the home wouldn't touch the slumpstone, as its notoriously difficult to thread wires through. Adam and team nailed this, and we continue to use them whenever we have needs (new lighting outdoors, dimmer issues, etc). Can't recommend these guys enough, not only for skill, but also for their dispositions. Good solid people doing good solid work not looking to get over on anyone. Thanks guys!

Kevin B.

1/24/2018

I had Kirby out to my house right after the new year. They do quick and amazing work! Very professional and quick to reply to messages on Yelp. I highly recommend Kirby and will have them out to do more work when I need it!

12/20/2016

Adam and his crew are awesome!!! My roommates and I live in a condo and recently noticed outlets sparking! Worried about a potential electric fire, I called Kirby electric and they came out same day! Sure enough, our landlord had not updated the electrical in the unit since the unit was built (over 45 years ago). Even with their busy schedule, they acted fast and made our home safe again. Aside from being great electricians, these guys cared about us as people and were worried about our well being. I will definitely be calling Kirby electric in the future and would refer them out to anyone who wants their electrical needs not only met but done right! Thanks again guys, you're a life saver literally!

Lee L.

3/20/2017

Adam is the man! He and his team came in and completely redid the lighting in my: outside front door, front entryway, living room/dining room and in one of our bedrooms (swapping out 40+ cans and redesigning the lighting throughout. He also updated some of the lighting in our garage and swapped out our panel and rewired so it didn't look like a fire-hazard. He is a genuinely honest and cool guy who is very responsive and his team is all really solid- finishing on-time and at budget. We'll def be using them again

Kirby Electric is terrific! My pool equipment had no power, so my pool was not getting cleaned. Kirby Electric responded very quickly. Owner Adam is very knowledgeable. They fixed it by running a new 240v dedicated circuit from the main panel to the pool equipment. This included manually digging a trench. They charged about what I expected to pay. So great to work with Adam and his team. I definitely recommend them!

Carolyn F.

03/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

This company was recommended to me by a friend in the construction business. They were able to come the same day and worked outside in the dark to replace the main circuit breaker. I really appreciated their timeliness as half my power was out - of course the more critical half. They were courteous and quick and reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

I've been using Kirby Electric for all my electrical needs for 7+ years. I've worked with them both in a professional capacity as a real estate developer where they have done everything from service pole lights to complete electrical build outs of commercial buildings. When I decided to do a home addition on my house in Alamo, they were my first subcontractor called. They provided the personal touch my wife needed in selecting all of the fixtures and gave us some great advice on lighting. They were with us through the whole process and were incredibly responsive to our needs. I honestly couldn't recommend them enough no matter the electrical job at hand. Adam, Justin, and Anthony are all top notch electricians and people. Don't write a lot of reviews but when I heard Kirby Electric was now on Yelp I had to provide my two cents.

Maria E.

3/25/2016

Search no more!! You found the right electrician! They super charged my 1940's home from 80 amp service to 200 amps. Guys were super professional, efficient, and very well priced!!! Very difficult to find the integrity and pride in workmanship displayed by Kirby Electric. Will be using them for any electric needs in the future. Fantastic experience.

03/09/2017 12:00:00 SA

Adam and his team were absolutely amazing and very professional. He was able to give us a quote and booked an appointment all in the same day. Adam and his team came out the following week and installed recess lighting in our master bedroom, family room, and in our loft. That was a total of 16 light fixtures which they completed in half a day. They kept the patch work to a minimal in our family room and we had no holes in our master bedroom and loft. We only had to patch up with the family room which saved us money. I would highly recommend Kirby Electric to anyone looking for a good electrician.

Adam and his crew are amazing! I recently had my office lighting redone. It was dark and the lighting needed updating. Adam came out and discussed with me what would be my best options. He was professional and really listened to what I needed. His expertise and knowledge was really apparent. Adam and his guys were fast, efficient and professional. The result was amazing and my office has a whole new look! Kirby Electric did an awesome job!
Thanks!

My deck contractor, G & G Deck and Fence, hired Adam to unhook and then hook up my spa before/after installing my new deck. I liked their attitude so hired them to install new lighting in my kitchen and a couple new plugs in kitchen and bathroom. I'm very happy with their work and fair price. I'll Definately hire again when I'm ready for a ceiling fan soon and possibly some outdoor lights. Thanks guys!

Jeff G.

03/12/2017 12:00:00 SA

I want to share my recommendation of Adam Kirby and the gang at Kirby Electric. They've taken excellent care of my home.

Adam and his team did a complete re-wire of my home, and installed recessed lighting and a new electrical panel in the spring of 2016. Throughout the process, I found them to be honest, straightforward, and communicative. Adam kept my wife and I engaged in the decision-making process at every step - ensuring that we got exactly what we wanted in terms of the configuration of lights and switches throughout our home.

And when minor issues arose along the way, Adam was quick to do the right thing for me and my home. It's clear that he's a big believer in the value of long term relationships with customers.

I think about relationships with contractors the same way, and happily count Adam among my go-to team for any and all future work needed at my home. I could not recommend him more highly.

Glen P.

I had hired a different electrician to get my tree house wired correctly. I had a reverse pole situation happen. The night before my appointment this electrician calls and changes the appointment two more weeks out. I had already waited two weeks for him. I called Kirby electrical and he was able to squeeze me in the next day. Dave was the technician, he was on time and very professional. I highly recommend them and well be the only company I well call in the future!

Steve H.

7/19/2018

The front porch light in our townhome hadn't been working for about six years, and it stayed on our to do list since we'd had several handyperson friends look at it, to no avail. Adam came by this morning, fixed it quickly without having to tear apart the surrounding ceiling (as one contractor friend had suggested), and we now finally have a porch light that works. We'll definitely call again for anything else electrical that needs getting done.

Kevin T.

3/21/2018

These guys are top notch. From providing quotes to pricing, design, scheduling, showing up on time, follow up, you name it. They even provided an excellent referral for drywall and painting. I will absolutely use Kirby for future jobs. You might say I have seen the light :)

Cristina G.

2/22/2017

Had an electrical project for my small condo that required coordination between a few contractors - HVAC, electrician and stucco. The HVAC company recommended Kirby Electric. I'm grateful they did. Adam and his team were proactive communicators before, during and after the project. They did the job quickly, cleanly and professionally. Once the dust settled and we were living with our new upgrades, we discovered some minor things we couldn't fix ourselves. With a text message, Anthony was at our door a day later to fix those items. I've already recommended Kirby Electric to a few of my friends.

Randy G.

07/02/2014 12:00:00 SA

We purchased an older home back in 2010 that required electrical upgrade of the original breaker box along with updating all outlets. It was a significant amount of money to come up for the repair. We originally were happy with Kirby electric but as time passed we started to notice things as we became more aware/educated. We brought these issues up to Kirby who said he would come out and resolve. He visited and said that issues were fixed and we thanked him for coming back out. Little did we know that his word means little when additional work to our house revealed that the issues were never fixed. What other shortcuts were taken?

Be careful using them! Trust and honesty are questionable.

G. P.

12/19/2013

Five stars are not enough!

The problem with writing a review about Adam Kirby and Justin, of Kirby Electric, is I would have to say they are always courteous and professional. Also, they do excellent work, at very reasonable prices, and, they will take on the most difficult jobs, or, the easiest; the largest projects, or a single outlet; all with equal aplomb.

The problem with telling the world how great the guys at Kirby Electric are, is they will get so busy they won't have time for our little remodel jobs anymore!

I have to risk it... They deserve all the best success!

Wendy W.

3/22/2017

I'm frustrated that Yelp never recommends my reviews. So I'm downgrading it (though it should be 5 stars) to see if this will be accepted by the Yelp bots. I used Kirby Electric for the first time about a month ago. We needed some electrical work done involving old exterior subpanels, along with some electrical requirements for HVAC. Both Adam and Justin showed up when they said they would, handled everything wonderfully, and even though my particular electrical situation was complicated, were super helpful answering questions and getting the work done correctly and without problems. I will use them again and highly recommend them.

We recently bought a 1960s home in original condition. We hired Kirby Electric to update the lighting in our kitchen, dining room, and bedrooms. They did an amazing job. They worked with me for at least an hour to make sure the placement of everything was correct. They made sure to cover all surfaces so that my house was just as clean after they left. They were prompt, courteous, professional and easy to have working in the home. Adam, the owner, is very knowledgeable and has great suggestions for functionality and look. Will definitely be using again for all our other lighting needs.

Rosalie G.

My highest recommendations go to Kirby Electric and its owner Adam Kirby and his team for the excellent work that they do. I have trusted all of my electrical work to Adam over the years that he has been in business and he has never let me down. He and his team are efficient, clean and professional and offer me the quality service that I require in contractors at very reasonable prices. Just recently I had my home lighting system changed out to LED's and all of my outlets and switches updated and updated outdoor lighting and I am really happy with the results. It was just as beautiful as I was told it would be. Thanks Kirby Electric.

We used Kirby Electric to install a ceiling fan in our master bedroom. They were prompt and professional, and work with a keen attention to detail. They made sure everything was perfect before leaving. I appreciate the extra time and care that was taken to ensure the installation was complete and correct. Highly recommend.

Adam Kirby and his associates from Kirby Electric provided a home upgrade enabling our 1960's house to be refitted for more modern demands. Entirely replacing everything from the mast to installing two new breaker boxes. Everything was to code and passed inspections perfectly. Timely, cost-effective considerations with consideration towards future plans not yet created. His colleague Justin remained on site until PG&E came back to reconnect our home to the grid. Now that is putting the customer first!!

Thanks again Adam and Justin. We'll see you on the next home improvement project!!

Kirby Electric did a FANTASTIC job re-wiring part of my home, installing new lighting, and replacing a lot of outdated switches & outlets. The owner Adam Kirby not only made us feel extremely comfortable thru the entire process, he walked my husband and I thru everything, even our million questions we had. I really liked how he actually does the work with his guys. Not just a salesman, a craftsman as well! His employees were very clean, friendly, reliable, and a pleasure to have in my home. I would definitely recommend Kirby Electric to my family and friends. Thanks guys :-)

I am not the type of man who typically writes reviews, I just felt I needed to tell the world what great old-fashion service I received from Adam and his crew at Kirby Electric. From start to finish the crew excelled at the Three P's -Polite, Professional and Punctual. They upgraded my main electrical panel, as well as installed new LED lighting. The cost was very reasonable, and I was more than happy to pay for the outstanding end result. Would refer to friends and family, no questions asked!!! Excellent job guys.
